I'm looking forward it.

I'm looking forward to the cool stuff that James will add to Lift. Please join me in welcoming James! Thanks David! Now I just hope I can actually find something interesting to contribute after that welcome :) The first thing I was pondering about was a way of easily using Scalate templates if folks wanted to use, say, Scaml (like a Scala version of HAML) instead of the usual XML template files in Lift... http://scalate.fusesource.org/ I know template engines can be like IDEs - very personal things and I'm totally happy for folks to use whatever template engine/markup floats their boat - I just figured a bit more choice for lifters might be a good thing? -- James --- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://fusesource.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.
